    OOOO Steel Wool

    What does 0000 Steel wool equate to on the "P" sandpaper scale? Simple question but one I don't know the answer to. Several beers riding on the answer.

    I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

    I love google. Search results for "OOOO steel wool sandpaper equivalent":

    http://steelwooldirect.com/grades-and-applications/

    http://workshoppages.com/WS/Misc/Ste...Equivalent.pdf

    So 400-600 based on those results, and I assume that is the US scale.

    Then a search for "p scale sandpaper conversion":

    Based on the search results I'd say 800p.
